The article presents the specific features of using VR technology in the training of future marine specialists on the example of the discipline "Navigation information systems". The recent studies on the use of such systems have already proven the need for their integration into the educational process. The complexity of assessing of navigational circumstances that are constantly changing, the complexity of ECDIS interface do not allow navigator to respond promptly to changing circumstances. So during training, they must be prepared on models as close to reality as possible. A model for the use of VR system has been chosen in order to increase training efficiency for dynamic control systems. The requirements for software and hardware parts of the proposed model for consolidating practical navigation skills are formulated. The studies have shown that initially students had almost the same level of knowledge, and after using of VR technology to acquire the skills of correct actions in navigation situation assessing, the researched group increased the speed of actions, contributed to more successful exercise on a simulator. The t-criterion of Student was used to assess the value of statistical data analysis. Possible ways of developing such systems have been identified in the planning of education in specialized disciplines, the practical part of which consists of managing dynamic systems in a simulated reality and requiring maximum attention to the data set..
